Superheavy elements, those with atomic numbers greater than 104, are a fascinating area of study in chemistry and physics. These elements are not only significant for their unique properties but ...

Scientists have now possibly found a way to create new superheavy elements known as "element 119" and "element 120." They would be so hefty that they would need to be put in a new eighth row on ...

Researchers may have found a way to create a new superheavy element, known as "element 120," which would be so hefty that it ...

The heaviest element occurring in nature is uranium with the atomic number 92. Even heavier elements can be produced artificially – partly in nuclear reactors, partly with accelerators. At the ...

The Nishina Center promotes researches on the synthesis of superheavy elements with one prime example being nihonium, researches in the fields of magic numbers, nucleosynthesis in the universe, and ...

With this success, a new pathway for the synthesis of superheavy nuclei has emerged. A pathway that should allow the production of new nuclei beyond oganesson-294 (Z=118), the heaviest nucleus ever ...

This paper reviews the reactor production of heavy actinides, the recovery and chemical separation of actinide materials, and the preparation of actinide targets for superheavy element experiments.
